Harold Becket

Harold Becket (1968-) was the Labour Party MP for Islington and the party leader from 2000. After the 2000 election, in which his party won a narrow majority (but not a working majority), he was backed by the Scottish National Party in his bid for the premiership, but he lost 12-18 due to the rebellion of his MPs May Adrian and Edward Lambern, making him Leader of the Opposition under Prime Minister Ernest Oliver.
